**WINTER STORM WARNING/ADVISORY: Final Christmas Snow Update

I’m sure plenty of you are ready to hear about something else on
this blog. Or maybe not 😉

As the sun sets on this beautiful Christmas Eve, many of you are
anxious about tomorrow’s weather. There still remains a lot of
uncertainty, and a lot of the fine details likely won’t be resolved
until the event unfolds Christmas morning. Despite all this, here’s
my best estimate for what will happen over the next 24 hours. First
order of business:

The HOOD CANAL AREA is under a WINTER STORM WARNING from
4 AM to 3 PM Christmas Day
(tomorrow). This area could receive anywhere from
5-10”, perhaps as much as a foot of snow by the late afternoon.
Another surge of moisture pushes through Christmas evening, though
some areas may be cold enough to add another several inches of
snow. Most locations should’ve turned to rain by the time this next
system arrives, however.

The rest of Kitsap County is under a
WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY from 5 AM to 1 PM Christmas Day
(tomorrow). This area could receive anywhere from
1-3” with locally higher amounts the further west you go.

Here’s the updated snow map:

Again, travel conditions will deteriorate the closer to Hood
Canal you are. Roads will be slick and snow will struggle to change
over to rain in places like Seabeck and Brinnon.

PLEASE, take pictures! I would love to see your Christmas snow,

Thank you all for your help the past couple weeks with bouts of
snow, wind, and rain. I can’t forecast effectively without you!
